Sugar Rush Bay Area 2012Logo Design Contest

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ You, the Client, are very important! Your active participation is the single greatest factor influencing this contest. Active participation by you, the Client, helps you get the logo design you want! 
~~ What's active participation? It's updating the brief with more information for Designers to work with as the contest progresses, providing feedback to Designers on their entries when they're submitted, and ranking designs at least once a day. 
~~ When you provide feedback to Designers, you increase the chances of getting the logo you want. More feedback = better results!
~~ Leave private feedback by clicking on a design. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion.
~~ Rank designs at least once each day -- this will encourage Designers to submit more entries! 
~~ Ranking prevents your contest from going idle! Active contests attract more Designers. 
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed. Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Please note: if you're asking for a design that will require several hours to create, to attract Designers willing to invest that amount of time the prize should be at least $400-$500. All "Character" style logos fall into this category.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested." We'd like to know what you don't want so we can give you the design you do want. 
~~ The first phase of the contest is the "Open" phase, and everyone can submit during that time. 
~~ After your contest's initial "Open" phase closes, it will enter the "Top 5" phase; only the top 5 ranked Designers will be able to submit revisions at that time. 
~~ The "Top 5" Designers are the first 5 Designers in a contest, not the first 5 designs.
~~ When "Top 5" ends, the "Judging" phase begins. The Designer of the 1st place design will be the only Designer who can submit revisions at that time.

Please note that we DO NOT want the Spark logo turned into the Sugar Rush logo. We want the Sugar Rush logo to stand on it's own, but not look totally out of place on the Spark website or on Spark materials.

We've had a couple questions about the style and complexity. Please take a look at last year's logo - we're trying to top it, if possible! It set high expectations for this awesome party we throw and it the winning logo will be the centerpiece of this high profile event!

Indeed it did. The designer of last year's logo is top notch! ;-) Thank you for the clarification on the Spark logo.

Designers,
Please do not withdraw your submissions - we have a team of people who need to look and we're spread around and have full-time jobs, so it takes us some time. Thanks!

Top Designers,
Please do not withdraw your entries because of the rankings! We're moving all of the winning designer's work to the top so we can choose the ultimate winner, but will then re-rank for the end of the contest so you can get your proper awards! Please be patient - the team choosing has several people in different locations.

And thank you to ALL of the designers - we were absolutely blown away by this year's entries. We didn't think we could top last year's design, but we have! Thanks again, everyone!

Top Designers,
We've chosen our top design and went to re-rank the originals, but some have been withdrawn. Please return them if you can if you want to get your top 5 rankings back!
